North West, 10, sparks debate with debut album Elementary School Dropout announcement: ‘How is it a good idea to call an album that?’

North West has announced she is releasing her debut album at just 10 years old – but not everyone is happy about the title.

The eldest daughter of Kanye West, 46, and Kim Kardashian, 43, broke the news that she would be releasing new music at her dad’s Vultures 2 listening party on Sunday.

North took the spotlight on the Footprint Center stage in Phoenix, Arizona, with Kanye standing nearby as she dropped the bombshell.

‘Hi, this is Northie and I’ve been working on an album. And it’s called Elementary School Drop Out, as the audience erupted in roaring cheers.

As the loud applause continued, a proud Kanye guided his daughter off the stage with his hands placed protectively on her shoulders.

It comes after Kanye took to social media last week to blast his and Kim’s latest parenting rift.

Kim is reportedly upset with Kanye after he begged her to remove their children from an exclusive elementary school via a note on Instagram.

“Kim get my kids out of Sierra Canyon now it’s a fake school for celebrities used by ‘the system,'” Kanye capitalizes.

A source said so TMZ that Kim ‘is frustrated by his constant public attacks and naming of the school because it creates safety and security concerns every time for their children.’

She’s also frustrated that the rapper told their kids that ‘school isn’t necessary,’ according to the insider.

The person close to the situation added that Kim enrolled the children in Sierra Canyon for its reputation as an ‘amazing school’ and because ‘their children need consistency in their lives.’

Also, North’s album title – Elementary School Drop Out – is a nod to her father’s critically acclaimed debut The College Dropout hasn’t gone down well with many.

Many took to Twitter to express their displeasure with the album name.

The crowd erupted into roaring cheers when she said: ‘Hi, it’s Northie and I’ve been working on an album. And it’s called Elementary School Drop Out

‘I pray she didn’t actually drop out of primary school.’

‘So North West is dropping an album called “Elementary School Drop-Out”!

‘Hey, I think it’s cool she wants to make music. It’s just how is it a good idea to call an album that?’

‘Did she actually drop out of primary school?’

‘A kid with “Folkskoleutfald” as the title is wild.’

‘Well, most primary school students will think dropping out is cool while the North West lives in luxury.’

While many weren’t big fans of the name, others were extremely excited about the album release.

Unlike the echoing cheers in Arizona, many online were not happy with the album title, with one writing: “Kids please stay in school”

“North West’s debut album has to have the hardest beats in child star history.”

“There’s no way North West is going to drop an album before Playboi Carti.”

‘COMING FOR YOUNGEST GRAMMY WINNER TITLE OH IKTR!’

Kanye’s album The College Dropout, which serves as the inspiration for North’s debut, sold over four million copies worldwide when it first hit shelves in 2004.

The quadruple platinum album also earned Kanye three Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song (Jesus Walks) and Best R&B Song (You Don’t Know My Name).

North wasn’t the only West kid in attendance at the listening party on Sunday, with her two younger siblings, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four, sending the crowd into a frenzy as they played on the smoky concert floor.

Elementary School Dropout won’t be North’s musical debut, as the tween previously appeared on Kanye’s collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures.

On the Talking/Once Again track she can be heard rapping: ‘It’s your bestie. Miss, Miss Westy!’

‘Don’t try to test me. It gets messy. Just bless me. Bless me!’

North starred in the music video, which was released on February 7, alongside the two famous rappers.

North West exuded confidence both in the Talking video and when she performed the song live on December 12 in Sunrise, Florida.
